Purple Flare Power Cable
When you listen to your system, you are actually listening to the AC mains supply. This makes the most important cables in your system the ones feeding power into the equipment. They are responsible for the raw material that gets turned into the sound you hear. Nordost employs FEP insulation and their proven, proprietary high-speed, low-loss Micro Mono-Filament construction to deliver the best possible power source for your system.
The Purple Flare Power Cord employs a dedicated, two-core topology designed to maximise the performance of screens and electronics using Figure-8 AC inputs. If you've never seen your video display fed by a high-quality power cord, Purple Flare is the one to try. It is available in a full range of AC plug options.

[The Purple Flare Power Cord] shines a light into music’s murkier corners exposing greater subtleties, most notably lengthening the tail of each piano note’s natural decay… And yet, paradoxically, the additional intensity brought by the Nordost wire also sounded more relaxed. Joining the dots between amped up fervour and greater repose is our third qualitative descriptor: effortlessness.
